Clockwise, from the left: a stunning dress from Lela Rose; getting ready to hop on the subway; head stylist Aya; a needed coffee break; gorgeous gowns at Zac Posen.

New York Fashion Week rolls on and so does our coverage of staffers in action. Today, Designer Buyer Justin recaps his whirlwind
Sunday.

Sunday morning started out bright and crisp. I hit the gym and picked up a large latte, with an extra shot and a little verbal
motivation from a friendly barista who told me to “slay that dragon.” I’m gonna do it! Then it was off to the tents for the Lela Rose
show. The designer really knows her way around a dress!

Derek Lam was next—I loved how he played with proportions—and then on to Thakoon for crystal-covered dragonfly dresses and
interesting layered bangs. After a quick coffee break, I made it to a meeting with a potential new brand, Calla.

I wrapped up the day with the amazing—and fancy!—Zac Posen show. The dresses were gorgeous and the models brought it with their
dramatic posing. I couldn’t have been more ready for bed, so I hopped on the subway for a fast exit home.
